Abstract

The Michael addition of nitroalkanes to alpha,beta-unsaturated enones catalyzed by a novel chiral imidazolidine-2-yltetrazole organocatalyst has been investigated. The new more soluble organocatalyst decreases reaction times and improves enantioselectivities compared to other catalysts. The Michael addition adducts were obtained with up to 92% ee.
